Nothing is more Sunday afternoon lunch than a good old fashion pot roast, with all of the trimmings. This recipe take it up a notch by introducing smoke to a true American standard and elevating an already tasty dish, to something out of this world. So, throw a pot roast on the smoker and prepare to be amazed! Enjoy!
Who Can Resist an Easy Smoked Beef Roast?
One of the best aspects of any pot roast is how much flavor you get from so little babysitting. Although you do have to check on your pot roast on the grill once in a while, smoking a beef chuck roast on a pellet grill takes very little hovering.
While you smoke your beef roast, you have time to do all the other stuff on your list. Clean out the garage. Mow the lawn. Kick back and watch the game. Play in the pool with the kids. As long as you keep your meat smoking beautifully, your prize will be a perfectly fork-tender pot roast with all the veggie fixings.
What Goes With a Chuck Roast Straight From the Pellet Grill?
Our recipe for pot roast on the grill ensures that you have some protein and vegetables already covered for your meal. However, you probably want to add something to the side for you and your hungry family and friends.
Because this dish is so low-carb, you could always add carb-heavier items to the table such as smoked baked potatoes, crusty Italian or French bread, white or brown rice, polenta or buttered noodles.
Looking for a way to include more produce in your meal? You can always support your roast with a side salad or homemade soup. Delicate fare will help balance the pot roast’s intense savory flavor.
Sweet Stuff for Your Pot Roast on the Grill
Never forget that dessert is the crowning gem of the meal. Pot roast can be filling, so unless you are making a smoked pot roast for an extravagant holiday gathering, you probably want to pair it with a dessert on the lighter side. Choose a pudding or flan if you want something sugary sweet. Ice cream or ice milk can also be a practical companion to pot roast, with bonus points for hand-churning the treat.
On the other hand, you could grill pineapple on your wood pellet smoker to echo the smokiness of the starring entree.
